Correct.

My Feathers are fine - I couldn't give a s**t what anyone thinks about my car - especially faceless spotty teens on a forum :). An OLD car is one that is not NEW :rolleyes:. I buy NEW cars because I don't want the hassle of OLD cars. Have fun in your OLD car and I'll have fun in my NEW...

I'm not bad or bitter - I just don't like OLD cars. I haven't bought an OLD car for 20+ years. HTH Oh - and I'm sure Renault couldn't give a s**t what people who do buy OLD cars think ;)

The simple fact is that Renault sell NEW cars. I wouldn't be seen dead in 172/182. If you guys don't want to buy my 200 if I come to sell it - I'm sure they'll be folk who are. Saw an 07 plate 197 on a stealers forecourt this morning for £150 less than I paid for my 200. I didn't buy...

Was there a tractor round the corner the second time ?

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=458284&highlight=197+recaros If you buy the recaros - after about 4 years they will have dissapeared all together :rasp:;)

Not as satisfying as dropping two gears, flooring it and holding on for dear life :D

ps - Coming from a STi PPP to a cup maybe too big a jump in terms of cabin comforts - you'll see what I mean when you test drive the cup. The FF is a much more pleasant place to be if you're going to be there for a while ;)

A cup with recaros for £200 more than a FF - I wouldn't be going for the cup with it's fall apart seats ;). Horse the cup pack on the perrys deal and you get a ff with cup for £200 more than a cup with dodgy seats.

Renault wouldn't tell lies would they :evil:

Imprezas are overweight - I used to think they were good in the twisties - but the 200 is worlds apart from a lardy arsed rice rocket ;)

Don't underestimate the effect of sitting in a car that feels like it's going to fall apart has on your perceived speed ;).

Pretty sure the 197 has the same brakes as the 200. If I stand on the 200's Brakes it's about the same as tossing one of these out of the window. Definately get them checked !

They sold their soul to Internet Brands and it's been $hite ever since. the 200 is miles more fun than the STi or WRX. Scoobies are too heavy nowadays.

White's the only non colour to go for :cool:

5 years or 72k after it's last one.

The temptation to say "I'm having my evening to$$ can you call back" must have been overwhelming ;)

Here's a little life lesson I've learnt ;). If you assume that everyone you have to deal with in life is a complete r****d you wont get too upset when they continually prove you right - you are just warmly satisfied that your theory is correct again :cool:. The flip side is that when...

It's not often I do this but to cut the stealers some slack I reckon it's probably Renault who don't have a clue when their orders will be built / shipped / arrive at the stealers etc. Apart from the surprise arrival of my car the stealer that I was dealing with was excellent :star:.

so - there you have it. CS Recommends ;)

I had my first call from the garage and the guy said (surprised) "Hello Mr Jasey - your car has arrived two weeks early - when do you want to collect it ?" Renault money = Renault Service. Merc money = Merc Service That's how it works apparently :S

Me "Can I get a touch up paint for a glacier white 200" Parts r****d (Looking a list of available colours on screen) "These are all in French - do you know the code ?" Me "No Idea mate" Of we go to the car to find the code for Glacier white. Get back - r****d keys in the code to the...

Yes you're stupid. They're 5 years, 1 month and 10 days old ;):D

The first pic of the grandad without the car was V funny. Now it's just getting silly. still - FPMSL :star:

Dunno about essential ;) Cup chassis would be fine provided you're on decent roads - on the b-roads of Aberdeenshire I reckon the cup chassis would break either your back or most of your teeth :). But as pointed out earlier - I'm old enough to be most of you guy's Grandad :rasp:

It's OK - we're allowed to be different :cool: Hell - I even like the nose on the 200 - and I think I'm alone on that ;):D

Watch in sonny :D told you it was worth waiting for :D And the recaros would be a mistake ;).

I'll be honest with you. When I ordered the car I didn't know what was what when it came to wheels - but I remember seeing various pictures and thinking that all the media shots had the "fancy wheels" that would be extra and I'd end up with those crappy black ones - turns out the Standard ones...

That is without doubt the worst 200 I've seen yet :eek: mine's much better - not fitted with crappy seats ;):D
